In 2017, Cummins hit a number of important milestones in producing the cleanest, most fuel efficient products. Here’s a quick look at five key ones:

Officials from Microsoft, Cummins, and McKinstry celebrated the start of operations Wednesday, October 25, at their new advanced energy lab in Seattle, Washington, maintaining it could deliver important insights not just on powering datacenters, but on a host of other energy-intensive activities.

“In the future, the research work done here will help us and our customers in really diverse applications and market segments,” said Gary Johansen, Executive Director of Power Systems Engineering at Cummins.

While the storm response has stabilized in Florida, the company is actively working to help bring electricity to key parts of Puerto Rico, where roughly 80 percent of residents were without power as of Oct. 19.

Cummins recently announced their acquisition of Brammo, Inc., which designs and develops battery packs for mobile and stationary applications. Adding Brammo’s battery pack expertise and resources is an important milestone in Cummins’ efforts to become a global electrified power leader.
